North and South groceries

What Luo Yong meant was that he planned to build a snack chain, which could be attached to some large guest houses in the early stage, just like the fried chicken shop and foreign fast food opened at the entrance of the supermarket in later generations.

The character of the Zhao family, Luo Yong, is quite trustworthy. The cashmere deal that Luo Yong agreed with them two years ago is now a loss-making business for them, but the Zhao family still keeps their promise. , although it was late this year, the wool sent was not a little bit less.

If he cooperates with the Zhao family, Luo Yong has nothing to worry about. He can train a few young people, send them to the guest house of the Zhao family, and rely on their influence to do some food business.

After talking with Zhao Chen, Luo Yong also seriously began to conceive of his own snack bar, because there should not be too many conflicts with the business of the guest house, and considering the efficiency, it is best not to supply too many dishes.

Dumplings are one item, and then there are cold dishes. Xu's guest house is also very experienced in making cold dishes. They are very careful about their meals, and after being instilled with some 21st century cooking skills by Luo Yong, The craftsmanship has gone up, and the cold dishes of Xu's guest house have now become a special dish.

In addition, there are meats, such as Dongpo pork stewed lamb and pottery chicken, it is best to supply them. I heard that people in the northwest love to eat meat.

The last thing is drinks. There is always a snack bar that does not sell drinks. Whether it is hot drinks or cold drinks, there are always one or two.

Slots, cold salad, meat dishes, and drinks are all in place, and a snack bar should be more decent.

The next question is who to send.Liangzhou City is quite far from their Shizhou, even farther than going to Chang'an City.To go to Chang'an City, you must first go east across the Luliang Mountains, and then go all the way south. To go to Liangzhou City, you have to go west, cross the Yellow River at Mengmenguan, then go west all the way, cross the Yellow River again, and then go west. , it is more difficult than going to Chang'an City.

And no matter how lively and prosperous Liangzhou City is, it is not as stable and peaceful as Chang'an City, with many merchants coming and going.

Ordinarily, at the beginning of this period, it is best for Luo Yong to go there by himself, but the batch of craftsmen and refined iron that the emperor promised earlier have not yet arrived, so he still has to wait here, and there are also the people he invited earlier. There are so many craftsmen here, and they are still making threshing machines every day. Before the matter of this threshing machine is completely resolved, Luo Yong will definitely not be able to leave.

The first person Luo Yong thought of was Xu Sanlang, and Xu Sanlang was not bad in craftsmanship. If he and his wife were allowed to go there, and one or two helpers were arranged for them, the snack bar should be able to operate.

He was just a little worried that Xu Weng would be reluctant, after all, it was such a far away place, and it was in such an age when transportation and communication were extremely inconvenient.

"Sanlang." That night, Luo Yong was still worrying about the candidate, Erniang walked up to him and called out.

"What's the matter?" Luo Yong looked at her.

"Is there anyone for the snack shop you mentioned?" Erniang seemed a bit hesitant to speak.

"Not yet..." Luo Yong had just finished saying these two words, and a sudden reaction came to his mind: "Could it be that sister wants to go?"

"In your opinion, can I do this?" Erniang looked a little embarrassed.

"If sister wants to do it, she can do it, but Liangzhou is far away from here, sister might as well wait a little longer. After this store is opened this time, it should open a store in Chang'an City next time... ..." Luo Yong still didn't want Luo Erniang to go to Liangzhou City, where the mountains were high and the water was far away, and there was a mix of fish and dragons, and he couldn't take care of it himself.

"I heard people say that the place is very lively. There are merchants everywhere, as well as camels and yaks. I want to see it." It is an age full of curiosity and fantasy about the outside world.

Probably because she usually seems very quiet and stable, Luo Yongzhen never thought that she would say that she wanted to go to Liangzhou City.

"It's just that if I leave, Liulang Qiniang and the two of them, you have to take care of them." Erniang sighed again as she spoke, as if she also felt that her idea just now was too unreliable, and Luo Yong had been like this all day long. I'm busy, so I don't have time to take care of the kids.

"..." If Erniang leaves, the two younger ones in the family will indeed be a problem. Compared with Erniang, Peng Er is still separated by a layer, but this is not a reason to restrain Erniang at home. Luo Yong didn't want her to give up her life for her younger siblings at a young age.

"Why do you want to go to Xiliang City?" After a moment of silence, Luo Yong thought about it and asked Erniang seriously.

"I just watched my sister and brother-in-law manage the business of Xu's guest house in a decent manner, and thought that it would be great if I could do like them." Er Niang said.

"..." Luo Yong scratched his hair and fell silent again. It turns out that Er Niang also had her own thoughts, which is of course a good thing, but what about Liangzhou City...

"Sanlang." Erniang called her again.It seems that she really wants to go to Xiliang City, where she wants to run her own snack bar, and also wants to see camels, yaks, and merchants from all over the world.

"I'll think about it later." Luo Yong couldn't make up his mind this time.

Should he encourage Erniang to go out, or act like a decent parent, refusing to let her go to Liangzhou City for her safety, and arrange for her to go there when he opens a branch in Chang'an City or other places in the future? ?

Now Luo Yong finally understands what kind of mood those big parents are in when they frown on each other and refuse to let their children go far away.

The next day, Luo Yong went to talk to Zhao Chen again, asking him how the security in Liangzhou City was, and how much power the Zhao family had in Xiliang City. Can their Zhao family settle down?

"If you have no idea, how dare you do business there? I told you earlier that our Zhao family paid a lot of money for this inn. I, Aye, am already there. We have to go there too," Zhao Chen said.

Luo Yong had told him about the idea of ​​the small restaurant before, and Zhao Chen himself was very interested, because he himself liked to eat the dice and other food in Xu's guest house, and some of the food in Xu's guest house is now even in Chang'an City. They are quite well-known, if they can introduce a similar snack shop to this inn of their Zhao family, it will naturally be very beneficial to the business of their inn.

Although Zhao Chen said so, Luo Yong still had a worried look on his face.

After Zhao Chen asked the reason, he couldn't help but smiled and said: "Your sister is not only beautiful, but also quiet and cautious, so why can she cause trouble for nothing? Don't treat Liangzhou City as a den of dragons and tigers. "

After Aunt Luo learned about this incident, she also expressed her support, and said that if no one was watching Liulang Qiniang, she would let them come to Xu's guest house. She watched these two while she was working. Anyway, they are now He has grown up a lot, and he can play with the Xu family's children.

It's all like this, what else can Luo Yong say, but he finally decided to let Peng Er go with him, and Tian Chonghu, who sells stinky tofu in the county, was also transferred back by him at this time. Put it on, let him go to Liangzhou City with Erniang.

Tian Chonghu was originally a clever boy, and now he has set up a stinky tofu stall in the county for such a long time, and he has accumulated a lot of experience. At this moment, Luo Yong doesn't expect him to be able to do anything big, just call him Following Erniang and the others, the three of them can discuss something when they go out. That kid Tian Chonghu is a ghost, even if he goes to a place where he is unfamiliar, he shouldn't suffer too much.

Regarding the matter of Tian Chonghu going to Liangzhou City, Tian Sheng and his wife were quite critical at first. Although they didn't dare to jump up to object, they still muttered to others.

Later, Tian Chonghu took out half of the wages he had accumulated in Luo Yong during this period, and went to his home, not only settled his own going to Liangzhou City, but also brought his old sister along. come out.

Tian Chonghu's younger sister, Tian Xiang'er, is getting older every day. If he goes to Liangzhou City this time, he doesn't know how long it will take to come back. Tian Chonghu is worried about leaving Tian Xiang'er with his parents, worried about them At that time, I will be fascinated by money, and I will marry Tian Xianger to someone else.

Nowadays, there are many families who want to marry them in Xipo Village. There are decent families and bad families. People like Tian Chonghu and the others have such good-looking parents. Really decent families are generally unwilling to marry. Tian Xianger wanted to grow up quickly and marry a good family with such children, but she didn't know that it was extremely difficult to realize this seemingly simple dream.

For Tian Xianger's joining, Luo Yong also has no objection. This little girl is now seven or eight years old, and she has never been spoiled at home. Going to Liangzhou City, she should be able to help a little.

Erniang and Peng Er are now practicing dumpling making at Xu's guest house all day long. I think Erniang and Peng Er taught them when the auntie and the others first went to Xu's guest house, but now they have fallen again. height.

Mrs. Luo and Mrs. Luo made dumplings and sold dumplings here all day long, and they also summed up some experiences and learned some tricks. At this time, Erniang and Peng Er came to learn, and they naturally taught each other.

In addition to dumplings, cold dishes and meat dishes can also be learned from Xu's guest house. What Luo Yong is more worried about now is the water.

Drinks, if it is in the later generations, use fresh fruits and vegetables if you are more particular, and mix it with various powders if you are careless. It is still relatively convenient. At this time in the early Tang Dynasty, sometimes the season was not right, and I wanted to drink something. Drinks, that's not easy.

After much deliberation, Luo Yong concluded that milk tea was the easiest thing to realize. Dairy products were also very common in the early Tang Dynasty. Many rich and noble families liked to eat cheese. In places like Liangzhou City, milk sources should be quite abundant. It is tea. Although tea is expensive, it is not difficult to buy.

In addition to milk tea, Luo Yong wanted to get some canned fruit, and now there are sealed bottles, just go to Cui Weng and the others to tell them to make the ink bottle several times larger, and it will be a ready-made canned bottle.

It’s just that there aren’t any fruits in this season yet. Luo Yong thinks that he can wait until the summer and autumn season when there are more fruits, and then go to the south to get some canned peaches and canned oranges. Then they will be transported to Liangzhou. The market will definitely be good. There is no need to worry.

"Sanlang, do you want another name for your restaurant?" On this day, Zhao Dalang suddenly remembered this.

"Naturally." If there is no name, how will chain operations be realized in the future, Luo Yong said without thinking: "It's called Ajie Food Shop."

"..." Zhao Dalang felt his teeth hurt for a while.

This name is chosen, so who doesn't know that your kid is a sister-in-law?
